What's the Best/Coldest A/C for our trucks??? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I am wanting opinions on A/C units. I'm not concerned with factory fitment or retaining stock controls. I'm only interested in how fast, how cold it gets, and number of vents.

I retained most of the stock system and upgraded to the 134 gas and a Sandon compressor and it will flat freeze you out if you put the fan on high. Where I go to the lake at it is usually over 100 degrees and the AC will keep the cab very comfortable.

I have a new in the box Vintage Air Kit just waiting for my truck to get finished in the bodyshop so I cant really answer your question .If you decide to use Vintage Air PM me and I can point you to a good deal with no tax or shipping from a dealer in Florida.

I have the unit from classic auto air and it has been there since 2008, it blows 37 degrees in the south florida heat..

Anyone tried the Southern Rods and Parts a/c package? It's a great price (about $800 for a complete kit), and I've heard good things from people with hot rods but nobody with a C10. Just wondering if it's any count (fitment, cooling, etc.). Like a lot of others have said, I've never heard one bad thing about VA. They've been put into about every level of custom, standard, truck, hot rod, etc., so you couldn't go wrong with them.
